Readiness to Begin Spread • There is an intention to spread the work of the Collaborative team in the organization • A System of Care (e.g. diabetes) is a key initiative for the organization in 2000/2001 • A Senior Leader is responsible and accountable for coordination and spread of the chronic care system. • The Collaborative team is relatively self sufficient (has been and will continue to be successful!)
What You Can Do to Help with Spread • Help to make the case for change • Make it easier for others to make the changes • Pick the right messengers
Help to Make the Case for Change • Two or three good run charts • Promote your work – “Make the message memorable!”
Make It Easy for Others to Do the Work • Develop the details regarding the changes • Identify and document the ways to reduce the transition issues
Details Regarding the Change of Patient Seeing Multiple Providers • Guidance on timing and scheduling • Order that the patient sees the providers • Movement of patient and/or providers (when and where) • Pre-visit tasks • Documentation, data collection, and follow-up
Examples of Transition Issues • Time away from caring for patients • Training • Reduced productivity because of the learning curve • Making changes to the budget • Change of work tasks and flow • Development of a database
Develop the Messengers • Focus on peer-to-peer communication • Identify and choose connectors, mavens, salespeople • Educate the messenger to deliver the message
